The short version

Gorilla Movers moves whole San Diego households, which needs a bigger crew, a bigger truck, and a room-by-room plan that includes the garage, the patio, and the shed people forget to mention. We have run San Diego house moves since 2008, more than 25,120 of them. Disassembly and reassembly are included, stairs and long carries never cost extra, and wardrobe boxes are free to use on move day. Hourly, quoted in writing within one business hour. Call 619-600-5000.

House moving crews that know San Diego

San Diego houses come with San Diego problems: steep hillside driveways in Mt. Helix, narrow canyon streets in Kensington and Talmadge, three-story townhomes in Carmel Valley with the garage on the bottom level. Our crews work these layouts every week, so they arrive with the right dollies, ramps, and pad inventory instead of improvising in your driveway.

Every crew member is a background-checked, uniformed Gorilla Movers employee. We never staff jobs with day labor, which matters most on house moves, where the crew spends a full day in every room of your home. On move day you get a live-tracking text so you know exactly when the truck will arrive.

What a full-home move includes

Disassembly and reassembly of beds, dining tables, desks, and anything else that will not travel in one piece
Pad wrapping on every furniture item before it leaves the room, plus floor runners and door-frame protection
Washer, dryer, and refrigerator moving with standard hookups (gas disconnects need a licensed plumber)
Garage, patio, and shed items: tool chests, grills, patio sets, bikes, surfboards
Free use of wardrobe boxes on local moves, so closets travel on hangers
A certificate of insurance for any HOA or gated community that requires one, at no charge

What house movers cost in San Diego

House moves are quoted hourly, and the honest answer is that your total depends on three things: how much you own, how good the access is at both homes, and whether everything is boxed before the crew arrives. The ranges below reflect what most Gorilla Movers customers actually pay on local house moves.

Fuel is charged and itemized up front on every quote, so nothing new appears on the final bill. If you want a locked number instead of an hourly estimate, binding quotes are locked in with a free on-site survey.

How to make move day faster

Finish packing before the crew arrives; an hourly crew waiting on boxes is the most expensive way to pack
Label every box by destination room so unloading happens in one pass
Clear the driveway and hold street parking as close to the door as you can
Disconnect TVs, computers, and lamps the night before
Keep documents, medications, jewelry, and chargers in a bag that rides with you

FAQ

House Movers questions, answered.

How long does it take to move a 3-bedroom house in San Diego?
Most 3-bedroom house moves run 7 to 9 hours driveway to driveway with a three or four person crew. Long carries, multiple flights of stairs, or packing that is not finished can push past that, which is why we ask detailed questions before we quote.
Do your movers disassemble and reassemble furniture?
Yes. Beds, cribs, dining tables, desks, and sectionals are taken apart at the old house and rebuilt at the new one. Crews carry their own tools, and hardware travels in labeled bags taped to the furniture it belongs to.
Can you move my washer, dryer, and refrigerator?
Yes, with standard water and electric hookups included. Gas dryer disconnects and reconnects need a licensed plumber for safety, so schedule that before move day. Refrigerators should be emptied and, ideally, defrosted the night before.
Can I get a price that will not change?
Yes. Binding quotes are locked in with a free on-site survey, where we walk the home and count everything ourselves. Phone and online quotes are hourly estimates based on the inventory you describe, so the final total follows the actual hours worked.
Do I need to empty my dressers?
Light clothing can usually stay in sturdy dressers. Empty anything fragile, heavy, or liquid, and clear the drawers of particleboard furniture, which cannot take the load. The crew lead makes the final call piece by piece so nothing gets damaged in the carry.
How far ahead should I book a house move?
Two to three weeks is comfortable for most dates. End-of-month weekends and summer Saturdays book out first, so grab those earlier. If escrow just closed and you need a crew this week, call 619-600-5000 and we will tell you honestly what is open.
How much does it cost to move a 3-bedroom house in San Diego?
Local house moves are billed hourly by crew size, so the total depends on how much you have, how far the carry and stairs are, and how much packing you want us to do. A typical three-bedroom local move runs a full day with a larger crew. We quote it itemized after a quick walk-through or video survey and can cap it as a Not-to-Exceed price, so the number you approve is the number you pay. Call 619-600-5000 for a real quote instead of a guess.
Do you provide boxes and packing supplies, or should I buy my own?
Either works. We sell professional-grade boxes and materials and can drop them off ahead of your move, or we can bring everything and pack for you. If you would rather pack yourself, that is fine too, and we will tell you honestly which rooms are worth handing to us (kitchens and fragiles) and which are easy to do on your own.

“Last week, I moved some of my belongings into storage with Gorilla Movers. We decided to utilize the storage provided by Gorilla Movers in their warehouse on Miramar Rd. The price was very reasonable for our 3 bedroom home, as we had a lot of large furniture needing stored for the foreseeable future. The movers were kind, quick, and careful throughout the moving day. Our family will definitely use them again when it’s time to relocate out of storage and to our new home we hope to find out of state.”

“recently used Gorilla Movers for my move from Point Loma to Carmel Valley, and I couldn't be happier with their service! Moving a 4-bedroom home is no small task, and they made the entire process stress-free. They even provided storage for my belongings, which was a lifesaver during the transition. The team was professional, punctual, and incredibly careful with my furniture and belongings. They handled everything with expertise and made sure nothing was damaged. If you're looking for reliable movers in Point Loma, Carmel Valley, or anywhere in San Diego, Gorilla Movers is the way to go! Highly recommend their moving and storage services!”

“Me and my husband decided to downgrade our 4 bedroom home to a 2 bedroom house before he got into his accident. We've always done the moving ourselves but this time we couldn't because the boys were out of state and my husband couldn't do any heavy lifting so I hired the young gentlemen from Gorilla Movers. When I called to book a few of the movers, the young man who helped me over the phone informed me that they also have a packing service so I hired them for that as well. Oh these young men were so sweet and professional. They handled everything for us which cut the stress down to half.”

“I cannot with words express how awesome Gorilla Movers is. From scheduling packing and moving, to the packers and movers who came to my home to help. Simply hands down amazing. I have never written a review for any product, ever, but I could not overlook reviewing Gorilla Movers. They were able to come out same day to pack me up. Three wonderful guys who packed my whole house with only my guidance. Personable, polite, respectful. Even just the pack was an amazing experience..but the move even better. From disassembling to reassembling to moving quick and painless with the absolute highest level of politeness, friendliness, respect and care. I can't imagine EVER moving myself again or ever using a company other than Gorilla Movers. To my moving crew, thank you from the bottom of my overworked heart - you saved me so much stress I can't begin to thank you enough.”
